December 2001 Touch Probe 6 – 367
6.15.5 Digitizing with the Measuring Trigger Probe
The measuring touch probe permits scanning speeds up to 3 m/min. The
stylus deflection is measured in every direction directly by integral encoders
and evaluated in the TNC.
Technical
prerequisites
You need:
n An interfaced measuring touch probe
n A “digitizing with measuring touch probe” adapter kit
The machine must be prepared for the use of the measuring touch probe:
7
77
7 Lock the spindle mechanically.
7
77
7 Ensure that the spindle drive cannot be started while the probe is in use.
The “digitizing with measuring touch probe” adapter kit also includes the
“digitizing with TS” function (triggering touch probe).
7
77
7 With MP6200, select whether a measuring or triggering touch probe is
used.
The counting direction of the encoder signals in the probe must match the
counting direction of the encoder signals of the axes. (The axis-specific
parameters are defined in MP210):
7
77
7 Select the POSITIONING WITH MANUAL DATA INPUT mode of operation.
7
77
7 Press the PNT soft key and position the machine by touching the stylus. The
machine must move in the direction in which the stylus is deflected. If that
does not happen: Change the counting direction in MP6320.
7
77
7 With MP6322, assign the touch probe axes (the encoders in the probe) to
the machine axes. For machines with swivel heads:
Enter the respective mounting attitude of the touch probe in MP6322.
Warning
If you wish to use both the triggering and the measuring touch probes, you
must make quite sure that the type of touch probe in the spindle at any
given time is entered in MP6200.
Danger of breakage!
